Sharp’s LC-37XL8E is a 37″ LCD TV with double the regular frequency, in this case 100Hz for the European markets, to reduce and almost eliminate motion blur. Motion blur is that pesky thing that happens when you’re enjoying great sports and the edges of the ball, players, etc. get blurred. The 1920 x 1080 pixel format can take 1080p sources as they are without scaling and the ASV panel should provide ample viewing angles in case you have your friends over. The 6ms response time isn’t earth-shattering fast, but should be good enough for most video content. But even with video with fast action the 6ms is helped out by the 100Hz frequency, so all should look quite nice. Speaking of looking nice, the LC-37XL8E has a nice and slender look to it, especially the super-thin bezels.

The LC-37XL8E is also thoroughly friendly to non-techie types. A simple, PC-like menu system and a logical remote control result in a TV that’s a cinch to use. But while being simple is always a good thing, there’s plenty of picture tweaking and other features to get to grips with if you’ve a mind to. One such mode is OPC, a feature that monitors the light in the room you’re watching it in and lessens the brightness of the screen. It avoids scorch-your-eyes-out images while also cutting down on power usage, which is useful given its size.

Review By Techlime

The 100Hz engine does the usual trick of doubling PAL’s normal 50Hz scanning frequency, the idea being that producing twice as many image frames should help reduce LCD’s problems with losing resolution when showing moving objects.
The 37LX8E also keeps up with today’s LCD Joneses when it comes to format compatibility, handling the 1080p/24 mode now all the rage with the advent of Blu-ray.

Also falling slightly short of the competition are the 37LX8E’s black levels. There’s a definite pall of greyness over really dark scenes, resulting in such scenes tending to lack a little shadow detailing so that they can sometimes feel short of depth. Having said that, while very dark shots can look grey, black elements within generally brighter pictures actually look strikingly good. Check out as an example Bond’s black silhouette during the opening credits of Casino Royale on Blu-ray. It really does look profoundly black against the riot of colours around it.
